Healthcare Matters

Fargo, ND – September 5, 2012 – Intelligent InSites announced today the appointment of Margaret Laub as President, Chief Executive Officer, and Member of the Board of Directors. Doug Burgum, who has served as interim President and Chief Executive Officer of Intelligent InSites, will become Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors.

“Intelligent InSites is rapidly expanding as the leader in real-time location system (RTLS) software for hospitals and healthcare systems, and Margaret is the right leader to help us scale our company, achieve our vision, and delight our partners and customers and the clients they serve,” said Burgum. The company says that “through its interoperable, hardware-agnostic, healthcare real-time location system (RTLS) software platform, it gathers data from real-time location, condition sensing, and other systems; and then delivers meaningful information to the right person, at the right time, on the right device.”

Most recently, Laub was Chief Executive Officer of Policy Studies, Inc (PSI), a leading healthcare consulting and business process outsourcing firm with over 1,300 employees and 80 sites across the United States. She lead PSI through the design, development, and deployment of the healthcare industry’s leading technology platform and service delivery model for Medicaid outreach, eligibility, enrollment, and CRM, before PSI’s successful acquisition by MAXIMUS (NYSE: MMS) in early 2012. Prior to running PSI, Laub was President of McKesson Health Solutions, where she built the 3,000 employee McKesson subsidiary, consolidating multiple McKesson businesses and growing revenues from $436 million to $850 million in three years. Laub received a Bachelor of Science degree from North Dakota State University.

Laub said, “I am honored and excited to lead Intelligent InSites. The company has an extraordinary track record of building innovative, enterprise-class solutions that leverage real-time information to optimize healthcare operations and improve the patient experience.”

Just a cursory look at Laub’s background and you can’t pull away without the sense that she understands a software engineer’s definition of “platform” and the need for true interoperability. Congratulations to Margaret and Intelligent InSites. Her appointment (i.e. the fact that an executive with her extensive background can be successfully recruited) reflects a growing recognition of the expanding footprint of the RTLS marketspace. Complementary applications  continue to emerge and energize innovative development. The SCM profession is being transformed by these kinds of technologies, regardless of industry segment.
